Tilac Gites

Both Steve & Rosemary make exceptional hosts. Extremely friendly and approachable. The Gites are simply amazing. Very clean, well cared for and well kitted out for every eventuality. Outdoor catering is a must in the courtyard, and views over the pool and countryside are simply to die for. This was our second time visiting and already planning a third in a year or so. Plenty do around the area, remote, but pleasant. Don't let the size put you off as the Gites split up into smaller accommodations, but also great for large parties. I can't praise the whole experience enough!

Fantastic stay!

My husband, myself and our 1 year old daughter had a wonderful holiday at the Souris gîte. The property was very clean and beautifully presented inside and the gardens and pool were perfect to relax in. We enjoyed having BBQs on the patio in the evening, and playing table tennis. The location was great as there were so many towns and villages to visit, all within a short drive. Steve and Rosemary were extremely friendly and helpful and always on hand for any questions we had. We would definitely go back again.

St George de Didonne (1h30) is our closest beach and is well worth the journey, so take a picnic. A short distance further on will take you to Royan, which has 3 separate beaches, numerous boutiques and a multitude of restaurants.
